Carbohydrates are also known as ____
A
Hydrates of carbon
B
Carbonates
C
Glycolipids
D
Polysaccharides
E
Hydrates of carbon
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are large macromolecules consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) and have the general Cx(H2O)y formula. Carbohydrates have the general formula Cx(H2O)y. The hydrate of carbon is known as carbohydrates. They contain hydrogen and oxygen in the same proportion as in water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates (also called carbs) are a type of macronutrient found in certain foods and drinks. Sugars, starches and fiber are carbohydrates. Other macronutrients include fat and protein.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates are organic compounds that are organized as ring structures and are always composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Carbohydrates are truly hydrates of carbon because the ratio of hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms is always nearly 2:1, as in H2O. They also have many functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reason: Carbohydrates are hydrates of carbon so compounds which follow Cx(H2O)y formula are carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -The hydrates of carbon are known as carbohydrates. These are the main source of energy. It is the first respiratory substrate in the human body. In hydrates of carbon, the ratio of hydrogen and oxygen is 2: 1.
